Can you snap spaghetti in half? - Bang Goes The Theory - BBC One

[BlueBlockHeads]

Heat the shit up until it's a noodle, crush the middle! :D

[MrMonkeystreet]

well just grab it from the middle and snap it how easy could this get bros

[ThaGriffman]

Put the middle in your mouth as you snap it.. done.

[kylebreitkreutz]

cook it and cut it

[randomvidex4]

eat it

[xZwareVanNelle]

I don't need to know things about pre-cooked food, I'm not a woman.

[happyfruitcandys]

cook it and bite it

[TheOriginalEntz]

Weird... I never had one NOT break into two pieces that I can remember.

[DufyyHD]

i done it once, i have no idea how though.

[SharpShooter1086]

grab it right in the middle

[thepersonishere1]

use a spoon

[RussianMM]

Schau dich Schlau auf Englisch

[kirkwooder]

place it in boiling water for 15 minutes, add preferable sauce, measure out and cut

[mierdaalamar]

Use 14T to TNT, that makes 1000000000000000000000 spaggeti pieces, 1000... spaggeti attoms, with the same distance.

[techdeckdude75]

put your fingers next to each other, then bend

[OxBigly2010]

don't hold it at the ends. Hold it in the middle where you want to break it at.

[skillfulsugar]

why would i want to snap spaggheti in half?

[DJxKILLERBOY117]

@skillfulsugar so you can cook it easier you know thats how most people eat the stuff

[msylvain59]

The most interesting thing in the video is not the spaghetti story

[obazda]

Who would want to break spaghetti? Ask an Italian and he'll tell you that's not correct!

[Tadesan]

I think its due to the reflection of the wave against the newly broken ends of the spaghetti. I am willing to bet that if you watched this on high speed, it would break cleanly in the middle, and i bet you could see the wave travel to the fingers, and then back to the broken ends. Brilliant call on the twisting!

[BryceFritzel]

@Tadesan Watch: /watch?v=Ezm6bliJgPc

[candr]

Bring the fingers closer together of course..

[pugosisiw]

i snap his neck in half.. easy ^^

[mctommyg83]

who gives a shit!

[JolsSugerFree320]

@mctommyg83 my bum gives shit to everyone

[Chunjongkay]

thumbs up if just leaving the spaghetti alone and letting it cook makes more sense then snapping it...

[OldSchoolSkill]

Even Richard Feynman couldn't figure this out.

Years later, two of his students / fans did.

Look it up if you want to know why.

[speedster1101]

try pushing it toether a you bend it

[TheMadCheeseGrater]

This is so simple.  Do it the way I always do it: use a chainsaw.

Personally, I use my Stihl 441 5-1/2 hp and be sure not to use the winter-grade bar lube (it sticks to much for indoor use).

[Matt123ttam]

[SuccessByAccident]

It just seems to me that if the spaghetti makers of the world wanted their product to be broken in half, they would simply make it & package it that size to begin with. Why break it? Also, the boxes they come in fit just right in my cupboard.

If you don't like the length of it, why not solicit the manufacturers of spaghetti?

[Einchy1]

@SuccessByAccident You're thinking of this as if they're going to eat it; they're not.

[ApocalypseLayne7]

@SuccessByAccident you fail so hard

[willywonk0]

@SuccessByAccident You shush now.

[FotCJemainiac]

Uh...I tried this just now and it broke into two pieces on the first try. I had to try to get it to break into three pieces, actually. I'm confused.

[dombadil]

@FotCJemainiac

it's a crime to brake a spaghetti :))

[mctommyg83]

@dombadil nice spelling fucking moron

[dombadil]

@mctommyg83

know something else then insults you barbarian ? get lost

[staru]

Twist the spaghetti as you bend it.

It works. Try it.

[SuccessByAccident]

why do we need to break spaghetti exactly in half?

[8Julius8]

@SuccessByAccident so that we could fit it into a pot and minimum the quantity of fragments that float around the the boiling water...

[jonathan102]

@SuccessByAccident we don't NEED to break it in half. it's just if you apply downward forces are both ends, the spaghetti will always break into three pieces.

[FlamingIZbad]

Use a knife.

[JamieJinjaNinja]

@FlamingIZbad That's cutting in half not snapping, pedantic comment is pedantic.

[3JayR4]

@FlamingIZbad SNAP the spaghetti bigg boii

[candyvillain]

wtf just tell me how to do it! i'm not going to another website

[JiveTalkVideos]

apply pressure directly in the middle and wallah!!

[gravity21rules]

its very simple bend it downwards not upwards slowly and it will almost always snap into 2 pieces =]

[gravity21rules]

actually its probably coz im pushing not bending as such, push in so it goes downwards technically still bending but dono if it counts

[EvieDaEmo]

couldn't you hold the spagetti in the middle and then snap it? =/

[TAFHUC]

Why did that get 2 stars? It's just generally a question and that's it.

[tristopia]

Contrived and camp

feynman gave this a go back in the day
